What is the target audience?

Those who have coded a little bit in any language should take this course

Free servers are everywhere but they are overcrowded. It's always better to opt for a paid server over which you have much more control. The good news is you can get for less than $5 per month (includes a domain). If you intend to develop apps in the future then having your own test server is a really good idea!

The next sections are labelled one or two. Choose the most appropriate one for your use case.
